Units stopping pursuing!

**themrwho** · July 01, 2007, 06:32 AM

Hello,

I've a problem, after breaking enemy troops morale my cavalry & infantry both seem to stop pursuing. This started to happen only when I'm sieging Greek cities, I did not face this problem before (have been playing this campaign for more than 2 weeks now).

Anyone has an idea why this 'bug' (?) started NOW ?

Many thanks.

Check to see if guard mode is on, because if it is then they wil not pursue

Forgot to mention, I tried with and without guard mode on.

I tried with and without units in groups. I also tried ALT + Double Click.

But none helps, these guys became merciful suddenly and they refuse to kill Greeks any more

yup, same here. sometimes i just have to stop cavalry and then remount a charge. kinda dumb that i have to do this just to pursue routing units, but i guess there's only so much one can do with the unit AI. and of course this really only works with cavalry pursuing foot units, since other foot units usually can't catch up unless they're fresh.

Well cavalry in RTW have always been bugged when they are in the act of chasing routers, maybe thats what you mean, my apologies

Yes that is a normal RTW bug.

Well I'm not an SPQR expert but I do play a lot of SPQR games, so I knew there was such a bug in the past (can't remember if it was from the vanilla or SPQR until LT explained).

The thing is this 'bug' started to happen to me again JUST NOW in the middle of my Greek invasion in my v.6.4 game.

I've fought maybe 30 big battles before this with Gauls/Rebels/Roman Rebels/and a few with Germany. And this bug was not showing up at all. So I thought this is fixed. Now it started again

I'm thinking maybe something triggers this vanilla bug, but looks like no tips on this?..

Anyway after 3 unsuccessful battles I just deployed my infantry in the far corner of the siege battle. When they sallied out I kept busy with cavaly & principes and encircled with hastati and this way managed to rout them all at the same time. But took a looooooong time. I hope this'll not be similar in the next 20 or so Greek city battles, because it'll take only 10 days to fight these battles alone

Thanks for comments.
